Can Rank Choice Voting Save Democracy?

FairVote Minnesota, a nonprofit organization advocating for electoral reform, has been making headlines in recent years for its efforts to promote ranked choice voting (RCV) in the state. With its executive director Jeanne Massey at the helm, the organization has been working tirelessly to educate voters and policymakers about the benefits of RCV.

RCV has been shown to increase voter turnout, promote positive campaigning, and ensure that winners are elected with broad support from the electorate. FairVote Minnesota’s efforts to promote RCV have paid off: the system is now used in several Minnesota cities, including Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Duluth.

Ranked choice voting (RCV) is a system where voters rank candidates in order of preference. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their votes are redistributed to the remaining candidates based on voters’ second choices. This process continues until a candidate receives a majority of the votes.

Ranked choice voting (RCV) offers a number of benefits over traditional “winner-take-all” voting methods. Here are some of the key benefits of ranked choice voting:

More Choice for Voters: RCV allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference, instead of choosing just one. This means voters can vote for their preferred candidate without worrying about “spoiling” the election for a candidate they prefer less. It also means voters have more choice and can express their preferences more fully.

Promotes Positive Campaigning: With RCV, candidates are incentivized to reach out to a broad base of voters, rather than just focusing on their core supporters. This can lead to more positive and issue-based campaigns, as candidates seek to appeal to a wider range of voters.

Increases Voter Turnout: Because voters have more choice and can express their preferences more fully, RCV has been shown to increase voter turnout. This is especially true in primary elections, where voters often feel they have to choose between “lesser of two evils” candidates.

Ensures Majority Support: RCV ensures that winners are elected with broad support from the electorate. If no candidate receives a majority of first-choice votes, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and their votes are redistributed to the remaining candidates based on voters’ second choices. This process continues until a candidate receives a majority of the votes.

Saves Money: RCV eliminates the need for costly runoff elections, which are often required under traditional “winner-take-all” voting methods. This means taxpayers save money, and candidates can focus their resources on a single campaign instead of having to run multiple times.

Reduces Negative Campaigning: Because candidates are incentivized to appeal to a broad range of voters, negative campaigning is less effective under RCV. Candidates are more likely to focus on their own strengths and policies, rather than attacking their opponents.

Overall, ranked choice voting offers a number of benefits over traditional “winner-take-all” voting methods. As more cities adopt this system, voters can look forward to more choice, more positive campaigning, and more representative elections.

RCV is not without it’s critics, one of the main criticisms of RCV is that it can be confusing for voters. In order to rank candidates, voters must understand the nuances of the system, which can be difficult for some. This can lead to disenfranchisement of some voters who may not understand how to properly rank their choices.

Another criticism of RCV is that it can lead to a lack of clarity in election outcomes. Because RCV involves redistributing votes among candidates until one candidate receives a majority, it can take longer to determine a winner. This can lead to confusion and even legal challenges in some cases.

In addition, opponents argue that RCV can disadvantage third-party candidates. Because RCV is designed to ensure that winners are elected with broad support from the electorate, third-party candidates may struggle to gain the necessary support to win. This can lead to a lack of diversity in the political process and stifle innovation and new ideas.

Finally, opponents argue that RCV can be costly to implement. Because it involves changes to the voting system, it can require new equipment, training for poll workers, and public education campaigns. This can be especially challenging for smaller municipalities with limited resources.

As we look ahead to future elections, Massey and FairVote Minnesota will continue to push for a more fair, inclusive, and representative democracy. This work is more important than ever to rebuild trust in our electoral system and ensure that all voices are heard. As with any voting method, there are trade-offs, and it is up to voters and policymakers to carefully consider the costs and benefits of any proposed changes to the electoral system.

Former Miss Iraq: Ilhan Omar Trying to Push Sharia Law on U.S.

 "...in Arab countries we call her [Ilhan Omar] the Muslim Brotherhood”

A former Miss Iraq who was forced to flee her native country after posting a selfie of herself and Miss Israel has lambasted Rep. Ilhan Omar for trying to push Sharia law on the U.S. and says that the congresswoman does not represent her as a Muslim. 

“Ilhan Omar does not represent me as a Muslim — does not represent millions of Muslims in the Middle East,” Sarah Idan, who lives in the U.S., told “The Sara Carter Show.” 

“You know like in Arab countries we call her the Muslim Brotherhood,” she added.

“They are extremist Muslims, Sunni Muslims, who are now working together with Iran against all the Arab countries,” she said. “They’re working now with Hezbollah, with Turkey, with all that. You know, the thing is about this organization, they are extremist Muslims, they’re Jihadis, and they have this ideology that they want to control the world.”

Women like Omar and Rep. Rashida Tlaib, Idan said, exploit progressive sentiments. “They feed on the sympathy of people,” Idan added.

Her remarks came in the wake of a Twitter battle in which Idan accused Omar of trying to “export” the same ideology that she fled from in the Middle East. “First was the Middle East, then Europe & now the USA. I fled from the same ideology you’re trying to export here,” she said.

In an interview with i24 news, Idan expanded on the accusation, saying, “It’s an ideology of trying to push Islam to make it the ruling system of the country.”

She continued by saying that Omar angered a lot of Muslims in the U.S. because she always says, “I speak for every Muslim in this country.”

“She made a lot of us angry — moderate Muslims who escaped Sharia, who are trying to push for moderate Islam and a reform of Islam,” Idan said.

In an earlier tweet, Idan described the Minnesota Representatives’s agenda as “anti-American.”

“Seriously @IlhanMN this is your intellectual come back?” she asked. “I said as a MUSLIM! I dont stand for your anti-American, anti-Semitic, Muslim Brotherhood agenda using this democracy to further YOUR & YOUR FRIENDS Islamic socialism goals of dividing & weakening our country.”

The former Miss Universe contestant, who grew up in Iraq under the regime of Saddam Hussein, fled the country after receiving threats that her Iraqi citizenship would be withdrawn because she posted a selfie with Miss Israel.

More including an audio interview with Sara Carter: Former Miss Iraq: ‘Ilhan Omar Does Not Represent me as a Muslim’

She was taught that the U.S. and Israel were both “evil” forces, but Idan later learned that that was not the case.

“When I saw the soldiers the U.S. soldiers the first time how they came and how they talked to us they gave us candy and flowers and they were like just one of the nicest people,” Idan told Carter. She no longer saw them as “evil” and, at the age of 18, Idan became a translator for the U.S. troops.

Now, Idan’s lived in the U.S. for nearly eight years, and she explained to Carter.

“I feel like here more at home than in Iraq,” she said.

The belief in freedom, Idan said, “is something you cannot find in another country.”

It’s clear that @IlhanMN will dismiss your voice and hardships as a Muslim immigrant of color simply if you don’t live in Minnesota #MN05 but she has repeatedly represented the Muslim Brotherhood and their affiliates @CAIRNational 🤷🏽‍♀️https://t.co/DO11ExyEG8

The attacks by GOP against Rep @ilhanmn #MN05 are nothing short of #hypocrisy. Death threats from so-called pro-life party. Religious #intolerance from the very people who demand it for themselves. Some people have asked why we still have #RESIST in our logo: THIS is why. We must resist the core values of #hate #racism #sexism #xenophobia and #bigotry espoused by the GOP that drives our country apart and makes America anything but great. #resistance #FBR #VoteBlue #FlipTheGA #KeepBraddockBlue #DemsOfInstagram #vote Cartoon by @clayjonz http://bit.ly/2L3ADOs #LinkInTheBio #P http://bit.ly/2Vq2Kvb

Onetime Miss Iraq clashes with Rep. Omar after saying lawmaker doesn’t represent her as Muslim

LTP News Sharing:

Former Miss Iraq Sarah Idan provoked the criticism of Rep. Ilhan Omar on Thursday after news surfaced that she distanced herself from the freshman Democrat from Minnesota in an interview. “Ilhan Omar does not represent me as a Muslim — does not represent millions of Muslims in the Middle East,” Idan told “The Sara Carter Show.” Those comments prompted Omar to stress that she wasn’t the beauty queen’s representative since she didn’t live in her congressional district. “Hey, I might be wrong but I don’t think you are a #MN05 resident and like that makes be not your representative,” Omar…
